How To Remove Palmetto Palms

If you have ever tried to remove a palmetto palm by cutting it down, you will likely have realized that removing palmettos is tricky. So, when we got ourselves a piece of land with about half an acre of these wonderful palmetto palms, also known as saw palmettos or shrub palmettos, we knew that we had a challenge on our hand.

How To Compost Palmetto Palms

With a little less than half an acre of native Florida woodland and brush to remove and then fill with soil, composting everything we remove just makes sense. In the previous post, we showed you how to remove palmettos , but we are even more eager to show you how to compost palmettos.

Earn Gift Cards Online For Your Gardening Expenses

There's not much money left over for gardening in our teacher's budget, and sometimes we just need something for the garden that cannot be found for free or bought for cheap. This is where shopping with gift cards come in. Over the past couple of decades we have found the perfect formula for earning gift cards online, most of which end up paying for birthday and Christmas gifts for our five kids, but sometimes we set aside a gift card or two to pay for items needed in the garden. Projects Paid For With Gift Cards Earned Online or via Mobile Apps: Fencing around the vegetable garden Grape vine arbor over chicken run Plants and seeds for the garden Netting for rain barrels and to protect veggies Tile for patio Potting soil for indoor starter plants Vertical strawberry planter Plastic covering to protect plants against frost We are well aware that there are many more online earning websites out there, and while we invite you to share your favorites in the blog comments, we ha

How To Get Free Wood Chips

Using free wood chips to make compost is one of the many ways that we are trying to save money, when getting The Land ready for our move. This morning we were excited to see that our community compost area had been filled up with wood chips - free wood chips from two local pine trees that one of our neighbors had removed by a local tree company a few days ago. Our Community Compost Pile

Finding Free Plants: Aloe Vera

Here at Dancing Treetops we are all about saving plants, and this often means that we rescue plants discarded by others. This past weekend, when walking to the land for our weekend work, we discovered that some of our new neighbors had thrown out about a dozen aloe vera plants at the opposite side of the road. We love finding free plants, and we have a soft spot for these aloe vera plants, since we've been envious of them for years. The mature aloe vera plants were surrounding a tree in an empty lot, where the house burned down about a decade ago. The lot has been empty ever since, although the lawn was fenced in and it was maintained nicely. The lot was recently sold, and our new neighbors removed almost all plants and trees on the half acre lot. They have been bringing in palms and flowers instead, so its not a complete loss, although there is nothing native left on the property. Aloe vera plants are quite spiky, so in order to rescue them our oldest son had to retu

Use Money-Making Apps To Earn Gift Cards For Your Gardening Projects

In addition to earning gift cards online to use for our gardening expenses and more (such as buying Christmas and birthday gift for our five kids), we also earn gift cards through mobile apps. When we first decided to get smartphones - oh it seems like ages ago - it was only because we saw a way to earn some of the phone bill back. I'd say we've been fairly successful, as we earn at least 40 percent back through gift cards each month between our four phone lines. Below we list the best money making money apps, and while there are plenty more available, these are the ones that we have found work for us. Why? Because we feel that we get out more than we put in. Using money making mobile apps, product scanning apps and receipt apps are great ways to save up for bigger garden or home projects, as you can simply save up your gift cards until you have enough for your project wish list. Right now, we're saving up for adding a half-roof to the northern side of ou
